The Wartburg Book Club and many other community partners will be reading "How to Be an Antiracist” by Ibram X. Kendi during October.

Discussions will begin Oct. 1, so visit https://www.wartburg.edu/book-club/#oct to purchase the book and get registered today! All are invited – students, faculty, staff, alumni, parents, and friends – to join the conversation.

This includes the Vogel Library. Should someone need to hydrate during class, they can briefly leave the academic space, hydrate, and return. Good hand hygiene should be used after touching the facial mask.

Violations can be reported by submitting a See Something, Say Something report. For incidents in residence halls, please contact your RA.

Student Organization guidelines for in-person meetings/events
|
Student Organizations are encouraged to use online platforms for as many of their activities as possible, including programs and executive/officer meetings.

Face masks must be worn at any and all in-person student organization activities. With respect to food and beverages during student organization programming, please use individually packaged items. Please contact your advisor or lindsey.leonard@wartburg.edu with specific questions about how to safely provide snacks at your program. Failing to uphold these expectations will result in suspension of student organization recognition. Additional information can be found at this link.
